chapter 14
disclaimer: I do not own death note or the song
the song I chose is unknown soldier by Breaking Benjamin because I have been obsessed with the song since I found it.
Vanilla groaned as she woke up, rubbing her head. "what happened?" she asked more to herself.
"You collapsed while we were trying to get a confession out of Amane" She heard Ryuzaki say. She almost screamed as she hadn't expected an answer. She opened her eyes and looked around. She was laying on a large hotel bed and the room was mostly empty, aside from a plate of cookies on the night table. Ryuzaki was crouched and the bed next to her, eating a slice of cake. "Cookie?" he handed her a cookie.
"thanks" she took the cookie. 'why is it so hot in here?' Vanilla thought as she took a bite of her cookie.
"are you alright Kurusaki-san? your face is red" Ryuzaki said through a bite of cake.
"y-yeah, I'm j-just a little h-hot" she stuttered, repressing the urge to facepalm. 'damnit, what the heck is wrong with me! I can't even talk correctly' she thought frustrated.
"really? it's quite cold in here actually, maybe you have a fever..." Ryuzaki reached out and put his hand on her forehead. Vanilla felt her face heat up even more.
'what is going on?' She pulled away, getting a little scared because she had no idea what was going on. Ryuzaki looked surprised for a moment but seemed to shrug it off. The room went silent, neither of them knowing what to say. Vanilla closed her eyes and tried to remember what exactly caused her to pass out. She suddenly opened her eyes and sat up straight. "The shinigami!" her sudden action surprised Ryuzaki and caused him to fall off the bed. He stood up and shot her an annoyed look before his eyes widened when he realized what she just said.
"shinigami?"
"yes! shinigami! it was there! Light Yagami is kira and Misa Amane is the second kira! or at least she was when we were questioning her..."
Ryuzaki raised an eyebrow at her. "what do you mean?"
"when she kept asking to be killed! she wasn't talking to you she was talking to the shinigami! it was in the room right next to her!"
"Valarie-chan, there is no such thing as shinigami-"
"YES! There is! there was one right there!"
"I th-"
"it told misa to get rid of something! I can't remember what it was but it must be what she uses to kill! the shinigami said she'd lose all her memories of it th-"
"KURUSAKI!" Ryuzaki yelled to get her to stop talking. "calm down. I think you should rest"
"but-"
"no. just rest for a while"
Vanilla glared at Ryuzaki laid down on the bed. He left the room and she crossed her arms and glared at the ceiling. She closed her eyes but wasn't at all tired so she turned on her orange MP3 player. She put it on shuffle and started singing along to the first song that played.
"~Borderline, dead inside, I don't mind, falling to pieces, count me in, violent, let's begin, feeding the sickness, how do I, simplify? dislocate? the enemy's on the way
show me what it's like to dream in black and white so I can leave this world tonight
full of fear, ever clear, I'll be here, fighting forever, curious, venomous, you'll find me, climbing to heaven, never mind, turn back time, you'll be fine, I will get left behind
show me what it's like to dream in black and white so I can leave this world tonight holding on too tight bring the breath of life so I can leave this world behind
it only hurts just once, they're only broken bones, hide the hate inside,
show me what it's like to dream in black and white so I can leave this world tonight holding on too tight bring the breath of life so I can leave this world behind~"
Vanilla finished singing and just stared at the ceiling. She heard Ryuzaki walking towards the room she was in. She rolled over so she facing away from the door. the door opened. Vanilla rolled over and looked at Ryuzaki with a questioning/still-angry-at-you look.
"Misa is acting strangely"
"Yeah, I'm not surprised. the shinigami said her memory would be erased so of course she was going to act strangely" She sat up, Still glaring at Ryuzaki. He narrowed his eyes.
"stop with this shinigami crap, they're not real. You're acting like a child" She was slightly surprised that he was acting so angry, he usually didn't show hardly any emotion. She crossed her arms.
"you just don't want to believe that they're real. Matsuda said that you freaked out and fell off your chair when the second kira mentioned shinigami. You're trying to deny that something with that kind of power could exist, but what other explanation is there? Kira has a shinigami on his side, it's the only way he could do this." Ryuzaki just stared wide eyed at her. She smirked. "now, go away. you wanted me to rest and I can hardly do that with you bothering me." she stood up and slammed the door, before flopping on the bed and turning her MP3 player back on.
